Overwintering Fuchsias And Ivy Leaf Geraniums. And Autumn Jobs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 ноя 2021
- This week we cleaned, trimmed, some of the bedding fuchsias and ivy leaf geraniums for winter storage. We did some pH testing on two plots, that are ready for limestone. We also cleaned the outer leaves from the celeriac, adding barley straw to protect them from heavy frosts. We showed the rhubarb that had been manured and ready for winter.

Hi Cliff and Dianne, thanks for a great video. You reminded me, so I have just bought tree grease and organic slug pellets. I have a fair few fruit trees ordered so I will certainly need the grease. My begonia cuttings have taken too, so I'm potting them tomorrow. Thanks again.

Good video
Thanks for the visit Caroline nice to have you with us. Take care regards Cliff.
Nice Dada ji ❤
Dear Cliff and Diane.
Many thanks for a useful video.
I overwintered my fuchsia following your recommendations 2 years ago and it went just fine. This winter it did not go well and I do not know exactly why because I did it the same way.
Lot’s to be done in the garden before the hard frost. You have done a great job on your beds.
Yes, it’s cold now, but the show must go on. I’m collecting leaves for my leaf mould and covering my carrots. I’m hoping for a mild winter.
Have a nice weekend. Looking forward to the next video. See you next week then.
Thanks Benni, sorry to hear about your fuchsias sometimes things don't get through, even with double fleece. Yes quite busy before hard frosts, I'm also collecting leaves although they are dropping slower this autumn. Yes It will protect your carrots. I must say you are a champion carrot grower, well done. Enjoy your week take care regards from us both.
Can I overwinter mine in our heated garage? Never have done this before.
Hi Cliff and lovely Diane most enjoyable and informative video have ordered one of those testers as birthday present to myself seems good and quick bit of kit ,
Must get and sort out our fruit trees with winter wash and bands . Keep safe Bill and val
Happy Birthday Bill hope you had a good day. Lots of jobs to do before the winter sets in. Hope you find the fruit trees you want, they are always cheaper bare root. Enjoy your week take care regards from us both.
@@CastleHillGarden sorry cliff I don't need fruit trees I've got to sort them out for winter with the wash and grease bands. 😀
Sorry my mistake Bill, enjoy your week regards Cliff.
Your gardening knowledge is truly amazing! How did you learn it all? How do you remember it all? I'm amazed and very respectful of you.
In the US we just lost a YT gardener called The Old Alabama Gardener. He was also a wealth of knowledge and knew seemingly everything about gardening. It seems you are the O.A.G. of the UK! :)
I absolutely love your channel and have learned so much!
God bless you and Diane!
Wow, thank you for your kind comment Rough-Hewn Homestead. Sorry to hear you lost your RUclips Alabama gardener, but nice to have you with us. Thanks for watching take care regards from us both.
👍👍👍❤
I live in north london so not really affected by severe frosts and can leave the Geraniums without lifting them , they spring back to life in the spring , however would you recommend to lift them anyway
Hi Mike, If you are not affected by severe frosts, and are still concerned cover them with double fleece, and anchor down to stop It blowing off regards Cliff.
Thank you for the very informative video.
I do not usually lift fuchsia and geranium, as I live in South London, but last winter I lost the lot....so this year I will give your ways go.
However I was taken by you saying you could take cuttings. I have a propargator but no grow lights. Do you think it's worth a go?
Glad it was helpful Koo B. You can try to take the cuttings, give a little bottom heat and as much light as possible they will root. Do have a go regards Cliff.
Morning cliffe and diane.
I have somewhere that adding horse manure naturally lowers the ph.
Also does the straw have to be organic.thanks
Hi David I have never heard this, but I do know the horse manure is acid so I always add plenty barley straw. I do check the ph every year and adjust accordingly. The straw doesn't need to be organic provided Its dug in to the soil, and left to rot over winter in case there are any herbicides been used on the straw regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden thanks
:)
Sorry for not putting more than a, :) before. I was on my tablet.
10:10 does anybody know what variety this fuchsia is.
Hi berkcansevgi, I don't know what the variety is called, I have been propagating this for many years. The name is long gone regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden thank you very much Cliff. Lovely flowers by the way.
Please tell us what Ph meter you are using?
Hi Eric my soil PH tester is Bestlands, Its very good had It over 3 years and just changed the battery, Its also useful for taking the soil temperature in the spring before setting. I believe It was bought from Amazon regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden Unfortunately your meter is no longer available anywhere.
Sorry Eric just been down to check the make, It a Beslands I hope you can get one regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden Does yours have one or two probes? You said it told soil temperature, does it have any other capabilities? It is possible the name was changed and I might be able to find one the same or similar by matching shape and abilities. Thanks for your help on this, I have used numerous devices and types but never found one I could trust.
Hi Eric no It has a single probe, It automatically tells you the light levels and moisture content of the soil. You can also switch to ph or soil temperature. It has a on button one side, and off button on the other. The switch for soil or ph is on the back. It is possible the name has changed as I have had this a very time. Regards Cliff.
